There were also many covered benches available all along the pier. Plus, lots of fishermen. There's a drive up circle at the beginning of the pier, convenient for dropping off and picking up someone. There was street parking, but depending on the time is day, you may have to drive around a bit to find a spot. There were several restaurants close by for dining. And the beach is pretty close.

What a great day! Our kids first experience with a fishing charter and glad we went with Capt…read more Alex. I've been on several charters on the Great Lakes and dealt with some high strung Captin's. Alex was laid back and made the trip very enjoyable. With it being the kids first time we opted for the four hour charter and only went about ten miles out. The kids had a blast reeling in some King Mackerel, Albacore Tuna and even a Barracuda 13 in all. When we made it back to the dock Capt. Alex and Chase filleted our catch for us and sent us home with a cooler full. If your in St. Augustine looking for a charter there are several you could choose but only one you should!

Wow we just went out with Capt Drew last night and what an experience! We absolutely crushed the…read moreflounder and sheepshead and had a blast! Drew has such an incredible eye for seeing the flounder. He would see ones that when we would back up and he would point to them, it would still be almost impossible to find until we got right up to them. For context, We had a pretty strong storm earlier in the day. Capt Drew offered to let us cancel if we wanted but we chose to go ahead since it was a day and time that worked for the whole group. When we started out, the water clarity was cloudy but Capt Drew kept us on the Flounder all night!! I say that to say that with less than ideal conditions, he still had us in more flounder than I've ever seen before. And just as he said as the night progressed, the water continued to clear up and we were gigging more and more. I've been gigging 2x before and neither of those trips were anything like this one. Absolutely Awesome trip for the guys or a family and well worth the cost for a lifetime experience! Highly Highly recommended!
